-''Grape cure" is practised in France
and Germany in the Autumn, and is re-
garded as a cure for many diseases due
to high feeding. The patient is given
a pound of grapes to eat the first day.
This amount is added to until the per-
son can eat five or six pounds a day.
The other food is gradually lessened,
and the diet at last consists entirely of
grapes. 1t cures obesity and many
other complaints, and starts the person
off on a new lease of life. Fruit is
necessary in rational diet, and of i'm

1t is said that whenever an eruption
of the Bromo Volcano, Japan, takes
place, the natives, as soon as the fire
(the molten lava no doubt it meant)
comes down the mountain, kindle at it
the wood they use as fuel for cooking.
They keep in the fire thus made for
years, and whenever it goes out,
through neglect or for any other reason,
they never kindle it new from matches,
but they get light from their nearest
neighbors, whose fire was originally
obtained from the volcano. The fires
in use, up to the latest outbursts, in the
native cooking places were all obtained
from the Bromo eruption of 1882.
